Item 1.01
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement .

On July 23, 2015, The York Water Company ("we" or "us") entered into a loan agreement, which is described in Item 2.03 of this report and is incorporated by reference into this Item 1.01.


Item 2.03
Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

On July 23, 2015, the York County Industrial Development Authority, or YCIDA, issued and sold $10,000,000 aggregate principal amount of YCIDA Exempt Facilities Revenue Bonds, Series 2015 (the "Bonds") for our benefit pursuant to the terms of a Trust Indenture, entered into on July 23, 2015 and dated as of July 1, 2015 (the "Indenture"), between YCIDA and Manufacturers and Traders Trust Company, as Trustee (the "Trustee").  YCIDA then loaned the proceeds of the sale of the Bonds to us pursuant to a Loan Agreement, entered into on July 23, 2015 and dated as of July 1, 2015 (the "Loan Agreement"), between us and YCIDA. The Loan Agreement provides for a $10,000,000 loan with payment terms that match the debt service requirements on the Bonds.  Amounts outstanding under the Loan Agreement are our direct general obligations. The proceeds of the loan were used to currently refund the outstanding principal balance of the Pennsylvania Economic Development Financing Authority Exempt Facilities Revenue Bonds, Series A of 2004, to finance a portion of our 2015 capital budget, and to pay certain costs of issuance of the Bonds.  A copy of the Official Statement, dated July 8, 2015, with respect to the Bonds has been filed with the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board through its Electronic Municipal Market Access System, which may be accessed on the internet at http://www.emma.msrb.org.

Under the terms of the Loan Agreement, we agreed to repay the loan by periodically depositing in the debt service fund held by the Trustee under the Indenture (the "Debt Service Fund") all amounts sufficient to pay the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds as they become due and payable, and to pay certain of the administrative expenses of YCIDA and the Trustee in connection with the Bonds.  The Bonds, and therefore our loan under the loan agreement, will bear interest at rates ranging from 4.00% to 4.50% annually.  The Bonds have stated maturity dates of June 1 of the years 2029, 2032, 2035, 2038, 2042 and 2045 and are subject to optional and mandatory redemption as described below.

The Loan Agreement further provides that, in the event we fail to make any of the payments required under the Loan Agreement, the item or installment so in default will continue as an obligation until the amount in default has been fully paid, and we will pay the same with interest thereon, to the extent permitted by law, from the date when such payment was due as provided in the Indenture.  In addition, if, subsequent to a date on which we are obligated to make payments, losses are incurred in respect of any investments, or any other event has occurred causing the money in the Debt Service Fund, together with any other money then held by the Trustee and available for the purpose, to be less than the amount sufficient at the time of such occurrence or other event to pay all debt service due and payable or to become due and payable on the Bonds, the Trustee will notify us of such fact and thereafter we will pay to the Trustee for deposit in the Debt Service Fund the amount of any such deficiency.  Furthermore, the Loan Agreement provides that, in the event payment of the principal of and the interest on the Bonds is accelerated upon the occurrence of an event of default under the Indenture, all amounts payable under the Loan Agreement for the remainder of the term thereof will become immediately due and payable.

Pursuant to the Indenture and the Loan Agreement, the Bonds are subject to optional redemption by YCIDA, at our direction, on or after June 1, 2025, in whole or in part at any time, in certain authorized denominations, at a redemption price of 100% of the principal amount redeemed plus accrued interest, if any, to the redemption date.

The Bonds are subject to mandatory redemption prior to maturity, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus interest accrued thereon to the date fixed for redemption, on June 1 of each of the years in the principal amounts as follows:

If Bonds subject to mandatory redemption as set forth above are selected for optional redemption at any time, the principal amount of such Bonds redeemed pursuant to such optional redemption shall be credited against the mandatory redemption requirements for the Bonds in such manner as the Company shall determine.


In addition, if interest on the Bonds becomes includable in the gross income of the owners thereof for federal income tax purposes, to them, the Bonds may be required to be redeemed pursuant to the Indenture.  If redemption of the Bonds is required pursuant to the provisions of the Indenture, the Loan Agreement provides that we are to promptly make payments sufficient to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds due on such redemption date.

The Loan Agreement contains certain covenants and provisions that affect us, including, without limitation, covenants and provisions that:

If, in compliance with the requirements of Section 7.2 of the Indenture, the Trustee shall annul an acceleration declared due to any Event of Default under the Indenture, such annulment shall be deemed to also rescind any acceleration of all payments required under Section 6.4.  In case of any such annulment, or in case any proceeding taken by the Trustee on account of any such Event of Default shall have been discontinued or abandoned or determined adversely, then and in every such case the Issuer, the Company, the Trustee and the Registered Owners shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, but no such annulment shall extend to any subsequent or other Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

SECTION 8.5.  Notice of Default .

SECTION 8.6.  Unassigned Issuer's Rights
             Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default arising out of Unassigned Issuer's Rights, the Issuer reserves the right to exercise or refrain from exercising remedies under the Loan Agreement with respect to such Event of Default and such Event of Default may not be waived or annulled without the prior written consent of the Issuer.

SECTION 8.7.  Determination of Taxability Not an Event of Default
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Loan Agreement to the contrary, the occurrence of a Determination of Taxability caused by any failure by the Company to observe or perform any covenant, condition or agreement on its part to be observed or performed hereunder or under the Indenture or the Tax Compliance Agreement, or caused by the failure of any representation or warranty by the Company herein or in the Tax Compliance Documents to be true and correct, shall not, by itself, be deemed an event of default under this Loan Agreement, provided that the Bonds are redeemed on account of such Determination of Taxability as soon as practicable but in no event later than ninety (90) days after the Determination of Taxability.

1.              In the hiring of any employee(s) for the manufacture of supplies, performance of work, or any other activity required under the contract or any subcontract, the Contractor, subcontractor, or any person acting on behalf of the Contractor or subcontractor shall not, by reason of gender, race, creed, or color, discriminate against any citizen of this Commonwealth who is qualified and available to perform the work to which the employment relates.
2.              Neither the Contractor nor any subcontractor nor any person on their behalf shall in any manner discriminate against or intimidate any employee involved in the manufacture or supplies, the performance of work, or any other activity required under the contract on account of gender, race, creed, or color.
3.              Contractors and subcontractors shall establish and maintain a written sexual harassment policy and shall inform their employees of this policy.  The policy must contain a notice that sexual harassment will not be tolerated and employees who practice it will be disciplined.

The Bonds shall be executed on behalf of the Issuer with the manual or facsimile signature of its Chair or Vice-Chair and attested by the manual or facsimile signature of its Assistant Secretary, and shall have impressed or imprinted thereon the official seal of the Issuer or a facsimile thereof.  All authorized facsimile signatures shall have the same force and effect as if manually signed.  In case any official whose signature or a facsimile of whose signature shall appear on the Bonds shall cease to be such official before the delivery of such Bonds, such signature or such facsimile shall nevertheless be valid and sufficient for all purposes, the same as if such official had remained in office until delivery.
(b)              The Bonds shall be equally and ratably secured under the Indenture, except as otherwise expressly provided herein.  The Bonds, together with premium, if any, and interest thereon, shall be special, limited obligations of the Issuer secured by the Trust Estate and payable solely from the Revenues (except to the extent paid out of monies attributable to the Bond proceeds or the income from the temporary investment thereof) and shall be a valid claim of the respective owners thereof only against the Debt Service Fund, the Construction Fund and the Revenues, which Revenues shall be used for no other purpose than to pay the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on, the Bonds, except as may be otherwise expressly authorized in this Indenture.  The Bonds are limited obligations of the Issuer and are payable solely from amounts payable by the Company under the Loan Agreement and any funds held under the Indenture and available for such payment.  Neither the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, nor any political subdivision thereof is or shall be obligated to pay the principal of or premium, if any, or interest on the Bonds, and the Bonds shall not be deemed an obligation of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, or any political subdivision thereof.  Neither the faith and credit nor the taxing power of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, or any political subdivision thereof is pledged to the payment of the principal of or premium, if any, or the interest on the Bonds.  The Issuer has no taxing power.
(c)              All covenants, promises, agreements, duties and obligations of the Issuer set forth in the Financing Documents shall be solely the covenants, promises, agreements, duties and obligations of the Issuer and shall not be deemed to be, or be, the covenants, promises, agreements, duties or obligations of any member, officer, employee or agent of the Issuer or the Commonwealth in his or her individual capacity, and no recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of, or interest on the Bonds or any other amount payable hereunder or in connection herewith, or for any claim based hereon or on the Bonds or the Loan Agreement, against any such member, officer, employee or agent in his or her individual capacity.
Section 2.6.                            Authentication .
No Bonds shall be valid for any purpose hereunder until the certificate of authentication printed thereon is duly executed by the manual signature of an authorized signatory of the Trustee, acting as authenticating agent.  Such authentication or registration shall be proof that the Registered Owner is entitled to the benefit of the trusts hereby created.  The certificate of the Trustee may be executed by any person authorized by the Trustee, and it shall not be necessary that the same authorized person sign the certificates of authentication of all Bonds.

Section 2.7.                            Registration, Transfer and Exchange .
(a)              The ownership of each Bond shall be recorded in the registration books of the Issuer, which books shall be kept by the Trustee, acting as bond registrar, at its designated corporate trust operations office and shall contain such information as is necessary for the proper discharge of the duties of the Trustee hereunder.
(b)              Bonds may be transferred or exchanged as follows:  Any Bond may be transferred if endorsed for such transfer by the Registered Owner thereof and surrendered by such Registered Owner or his duly appointed attorney to the Trustee at its designated corporate trust operations office, whereupon the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the transferee a new Bond or Bonds in the same denominations as the Bond surrendered for transfer or in different Authorized Denominations equal in the aggregate to the principal amount of the surrendered Bond.
(i)              Any Bond or Bonds may be exchanged for one or more Bonds and in the same principal amount, but in a different Authorized Denomination or Authorized Denominations.  Each Bond so to be exchanged shall be surrendered by the Registered Owner thereof or his duly appointed attorney to the Trustee at its designated corporate trust operations office, whereupon a new Bond or Bonds shall be authenticated and delivered to the Registered Owner.
(ii)              In the case of any Bond properly surrendered for partial redemption, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver a new Bond in exchange therefor, such new Bond to be in an Authorized Denomination equal to the unredeemed principal amount of the surrendered Bond without cost to the Owner; provided that, at its option, the Trustee may certify the amount and date of partial redemption  upon the partial redemption certificate, if any, printed on the surrendered Bond and return such surrendered Bond to the Registered Owner in lieu of an exchange.
(iii)              No additional resolutions need be adopted by the governing body of the Issuer or any other body or person so as to accomplish the foregoing conversion and exchange or replacement of any Bond or portion thereof, and the Trustee shall provide for the completion, authentication, and delivery of the substitute Bonds in the manner prescribed herein.
Except as provided in subparagraph (iii) above, the Trustee shall not be required to effect any transfer or exchange during the fifteen (15) days immediately preceding the date of mailing of any notice of redemption or at any time following the mailing of any such notice in the case of Bonds selected for such redemption.  No charge shall be imposed upon Registered Owners in connection with any transfer or exchange, except for taxes or governmental charges related thereto.  No transfers or exchanges shall be valid for any purposes hereunder except as provided above.

Section 2.8.                            Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Bonds .
(a)              If any Bond is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Registered Owner thereof shall be entitled to the issuance of a substitute Bond provided that:
(i)              in all cases, the Registered Owner must provide indemnity to the Issuer, the Company and the Trustee satisfactory to each such party to be indemnified against any and all claims arising out of or otherwise related to the issuance of substitute Bonds pursuant to this Section;
(ii)              in the case of a mutilated Bond the Registered Owner shall surrender the Bond to the Trustee for cancellation; and
(iii)              in the case of a lost, stolen or destroyed Bond, the Registered Owner shall provide evidence, satisfactory to the Trustee, of the ownership and the loss, theft or destruction of the affected Bond.
Upon compliance with the foregoing, a new Bond of like tenor and denomination, executed by the Issuer, shall be authenticated by the Trustee and delivered to the Registered Owner, all at the expense of the Registered Owner to whom the substitute Bond is delivered.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trustee shall not be required to authenticate and deliver any substitute for a Bond which has been called for redemption or which has matured or is about to mature and, in any such case, the principal or redemption price then due or becoming due shall be paid by the Trustee in accordance with the terms of the mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed Bond without substitution therefor.

(b)              Every Bond issued pursuant to this Section 2.8 shall constitute an additional contractual obligation of the Issuer, whether or not the Bond alleged to have been destroyed, lost or stolen shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Bonds duly issued hereunder.
(c)              All Bonds shall be held and owned upon the express condition that the foregoing provisions are exclusive with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Bonds, and shall preclude any and all other rights or remedies, unless expressly inconsistent with any law or statute existing or hereafter enacted with respect to the replacement or payment of negotiable instruments, investments or other securities without their surrender.
Section 2.9.                            Payments of Principal, Redemption Price and Interest; Persons Entitled Thereto .
(a)              The principal or redemption price of each Bond shall be payable in lawful money of the United States of America upon surrender of such Bond to the designated corporate trust operations office of the Trustee, initially in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.  Such payments shall be made to the Registered Owner of the Bond so surrendered, as shown on the registration books maintained by the Trustee on the date of payment.
(b)              Each Bond shall bear interest and be payable in lawful money of the United States of America as to interest as follows:
(i)              Each Bond shall bear interest (A) from the date of authentication, if authenticated on an Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, or (B) from the last preceding Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for (or the Dated Date if no interest thereon has been paid) in all other cases.
(ii)              Subject to the provisions of subparagraph (iii) below, the interest due on any Bond on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Registered Owner of such Bond as shown on the registration books kept by the Trustee as of the Regular Record Date.  The amount of interest payable on any Interest Payment Date shall be computed on the basis of a 360‑day year of twelve (12) 30‑day months.
(iii)              If the funds available under this Indenture are insufficient on any Interest Payment Date to pay the interest then due, the Regular Record Date shall no longer be applicable with respect to the Bonds.  If sufficient funds for the payment of such overdue interest thereafter become available, the Trustee shall immediately establish a special interest payment date for the payment of the overdue interest and a Special Record Date (which shall be a Business Day) for determining the Registered Owners entitled to payments.  Notice of such date so established shall be mailed by the Trustee to each Owner at least ten (10) days prior to the Special Record Date, but not more than thirty (30) days prior to the special interest payment date.  The overdue interest shall be paid on the special interest payment date to the Registered Owners, as shown on the registration books kept by the Trustee as of the close of business on the Special Record Date.
(c)              Interest due at the maturity or redemption of the Bonds shall be paid only upon presentation and surrender of Bonds at the corporate trust operations office of the Trustee in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania or such other office as may be designated by the Trustee in writing to the Issuer, the Company and the Owners of the Bonds.
(d)              All Bonds issued hereunder are and are to be, to the extent provided in this Indenture, equally and ratably secured by this Indenture without preference, priority or distinction on account of the actual time or times of the authentication, delivery or maturity of the Bonds so that, subject as aforesaid, all Bonds at any time Outstanding hereunder shall have the same right, lien and preference under and by virtue of this Indenture and shall all be equally and ratably secured hereby with like effect as if they had all been executed, authenticated and delivered simultaneously on the date hereof, whether the same, or any of them, shall actually be disposed of at such date, or whether they, or any of them, shall be disposed of at some future date.
Section 2.10.                            Temporary Bonds .
Pending preparation of definitive Bonds, the Issuer may issue, in lieu of definitive Bonds, one or more temporary printed or typewritten Bonds in Authorized Denominations, of substantially the tenor recited above.  At the written request of the Issuer, the Trustee shall authenticate definitive Bonds in exchange for and upon surrender of an equal principal amount of temporary Bonds.  Until so exchanged, temporary  Bonds shall have the same rights, remedies and security hereunder as definitive Bonds.  Temporary Bonds shall be numbered consecutively upward from TR‑1.

Section 2.11.                            Cancellation of Surrendered Bonds .
The Trustee shall cancel (a) all Bonds surrendered for transfer or exchange, for payment at maturity or for redemption (unless the surrendered Bond is to be partially redeemed and the Trustee elects to return the Bond, certified as to the partial redemption, to the Registered Owner thereof pursuant to Section 2.7(b)(ii)), and (b) all Bonds purchased at the direction of the Company and surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation.  The Trustee shall deliver to the Issuer a certificate of cancellation in respect of all Bonds canceled in accordance with this Section.

Section 2.12.                            Acts of Registered Owners; Evidence of Ownership .
Any action to be taken by Registered Owners may be evidenced by one or more concurrent written instruments of similar tenor signed or executed by such Registered Owners in person or by an agent appointed in writing.  The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument may be proved by acknowledgment before a notary public or other officer empowered to take acknowledgments or by an affidavit of a witness to such execution.  Any action by the Registered Owner of any Bond shall bind all future Registered Owners of the same Bond in respect of anything done or suffered by the Issuer or the Trustee in pursuance thereof.

Section 2.13.                            Book Entry System .
(a)              DTC will act as Securities Depository for the Bonds.  The Bonds shall be initially issued in the form of a single fully registered Bond registered in the name of Cede & Co. (DTC's partnership nominee).  So long as Cede & Co. is the Registered Owner of the Bonds, as nominee of DTC, references herein to Registered Owners, Bondholders or holders or Owners of the Bonds shall mean Cede & Co. and shall not mean the beneficial owners of the Bonds.
(b)              The ownership interest of each of the Beneficial Owners of the Bonds will be recorded through the records of a DTC Participant.  Transfers of beneficial ownership interests in the Bonds which are registered in the name of Cede & Co. will be accompanied by book entries made by DTC and, in turn, by the DTC Participants who act on behalf of the Beneficial Owners of the Bonds.
(c)              With respect to Bonds registered in the name of Cede & Co., as DTC's nominee, the Issuer and the Trustee shall have no responsibility or obligation to any DTC Participant or to any person on behalf of whom such a DTC Participant holds an interest in the Bonds, except as provided in this Indenture.  Without limiting the immediately preceding sentence, the Issuer and the Trustee shall have no responsibility or obligation with respect to (i) the accuracy of the records of DTC, Cede & Co. or any DTC Participant with respect to any ownership interest in the Bonds, (ii) the delivery to any DTC Participant or any other person, other than a Bondholder, as shown on the registration books, of any notice with respect to the Bonds, including any notice of redemption, or (iii) the payment to any DTC Participant or any other person, other than a Registered Owner, as shown in the registration books of any amount with respect to principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, the Bonds.
(d)              Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture to the contrary, the Issuer and the Trustee shall be entitled to treat and consider the person in whose name each Bond is registered in the registration books as the absolute owner of such Bond for the purpose of payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest with respect to such Bond, for the purpose of giving notices of redemption and other matters with respect to such Bond, for the purpose of registering transfers with respect to such Bond, and for all other purposes whatsoever.  The Trustee shall pay all principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds only to or upon the order of the respective owners, as shown in the registration books as provided in this Indenture, or their respective attorneys duly authorized in writing, and all such payments shall be valid and effective to fully satisfy and discharge the Issuer's obligations with respect to payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, the Bonds to the extent of the sum or sums so paid.
(e)              No person other than a Registered Owner, as shown in the registration books, shall receive a Bond certificate evidencing the obligation of the Issuer to make payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest, pursuant to this Indenture.
(f)              Any provision of this Indenture permitting or requiring the delivery of Bonds shall, while the book‑entry system is in effect, be satisfied by the notation on the books of DTC or a DTC Participant, if applicable, of the transfer of the Beneficial Owner's interest in such Bond.
(g)              So long as the book‑entry system is in effect, the Trustee and the Issuer shall comply with the terms of the Letter of Representations, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit B and made a part hereof, or an alternate Letter of Representations as required by DTC.
(h)              DTC may determine to discontinue providing its service with respect to the Bonds at any time by giving reasonable written notice and all relevant information on the Beneficial Owners of the Bonds to the Issuer or the Trustee and discharging its responsibilities with respect thereto under applicable law.  If there is no successor Securities Depository appointed by the Issuer, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver Bonds to the Beneficial Owners thereof in accordance with the information respecting the Beneficial Owners provided to the Trustee by DTC, but without any liability on the part of the Issuer or the Trustee for the accuracy of such information.  The Issuer, at the direction of the Company, may determine not to continue participation in the system of book entry transfers through DTC (or a successor Securities Depository) at any time by giving reasonable written notice to DTC (or a successor Securities Depository) and the Trustee.  In such event, the Issuer shall execute and deliver to the Trustee, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver the Bonds to the Beneficial Owners thereof in accordance with the information respecting the Beneficial Owners provided to the Trustee by DTC, but without any liability on the part of the Issuer or the Trustee for the accuracy of such information.
The Chair or Vice-Chair of the Issuer are hereby authorized to execute any additional Letter of Representations or similar document necessary from time to time to continue or provide for the DTC book‑entry system.

Section 2.14.                            Payments to Cede & Co.; Payments to Beneficial Owners .
(a)              Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture to the contrary, so long as any Bond is registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC, all payments with respect to principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, such Bond and all notices with respect to such Bond shall be made and given, respectively, pursuant to DTC's rules and procedures.
(b)              Payments by the DTC Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is now the case with municipal securities held for the accounts of customers in bearer form or registered in "street name," and will be the responsibility of such DTC Participant and not of DTC, the Trustee or the Issuer, subject to any statutory and regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time.
 
ARTICLE III   
DEBT SERVICE FUND AND CONSTRUCTION FUND
Section 3.1.                            Establishment of Funds and Accounts .
The Issuer hereby establishes with the Trustee trust funds designated the Debt Service Fund and the Construction Fund.

Section 3.2.                            Debt Service Fund .
Monies in the Debt Service Fund shall be held in trust for the Bondholders and, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, shall be used solely for the payment of the interest on the Bonds and for the payment of principal of or premium, if any, on the Bonds upon maturity, whether stated or accelerated, or upon redemption thereof pursuant to Article V hereof.  The Issuer hereby authorizes and directs the Trustee, and the Trustee hereby agrees, to withdraw and make available at its designated office sufficient funds (to the extent available) from the Debt Service Fund to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds as the same become due and payable, which authorization and direction the Trustee hereby accepts.

Section 3.3.                            Return of Monies from Non‑Presentment of Bonds .
In the event any Bond shall not be presented for payment when the principal thereof becomes due, either at maturity, at the date fixed for redemption thereof, or otherwise, and is not thereafter presented for payment, any funds which shall be held for the payment of such principal or redemption price and which remain unclaimed by the Owner of the Bond not presented for payment for a period of two (2) years after such due date thereof, shall, upon request in writing by the Company to the Trustee, and subject to applicable unclaimed property or similar law of the Commonwealth, be paid by the Trustee to the Company.  The owners of the Bonds for which the related deposit was made shall thereafter be limited to a claim against the Company for such monies without interest thereon and only to the extent the related deposit was repaid to the Company.

Section 3.4.                            Construction Fund.
A portion of the Bonds in the amount of $2,155,745.39 shall be deposited by the Trustee in the Construction Fund and shall be used to pay Project Costs as provided in Section 3.2 of the Loan Agreement.  The Trustee shall disburse moneys from the Construction Fund upon receipt of requisitions signed by the Company substantially in the form attached to this Indenture as Exhibit C.  Any amounts remaining after delivery of the certificate of completion pursuant to Section 3.3 of the Loan Agreement shall be used by the Trustee as provided in Section 3.3 of the Loan Agreement.

Section 3.5.                            Debt Service Fund Monies to be Held for All Registered Owners, With Certain Exceptions .
Until applied as herein provided, monies and investments held in the Debt Service Fund shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Registered Owners of all Outstanding Bonds, except that on and after the date on which the interest on or principal or redemption price of any particular Bond or Bonds is due and payable from the Debt Service Fund, the unexpended balance of the amount deposited or reserved in such fund for the making of such payments shall, to the extent necessary therefor, be held for the benefit of the Registered Owner or Registered Owners entitled thereto.

Section 3.6.                            Additional Accounts and Subaccounts .
At the written request of the Company, the Trustee shall establish and maintain additional accounts or subaccounts within the Debt Service Fund or Construction Fund as the Company may reasonably request; provided that (a) in each  case, the written request of the Company shall set forth in reasonable detail the sources of deposits into and disbursements from the account or subaccount to be established, and (b) in each case, the sources of deposits into and disbursements from the account or subaccount to be established shall be limited to the sources of deposits permitted or required to be made into and the disbursements permitted or required to be made from the fund or account within which it is to be established.

ARTICLE IV   
INVESTMENTS, TAX COVENANTS
Section 4.1.                            Investment of Funds .
Pending disbursement of the amounts on deposit in the Debt Service Fund (other than any monies held by the Trustee to pay the principal of, premium, if any, or interest which has previously become payable with respect to the Bonds which shall only be invested as provided below in the next succeeding paragraph) and the Construction Fund as provided herein, the Trustee is hereby directed to invest and reinvest such amounts in Investment Securities promptly upon receipt of, and, subject to the limitations set forth in this Article, in accordance with the written instructions of the Company.  In the event no such written instructions are received by the Trustee, such amounts shall be invested in Investment Securities described in clause (g) of the definition thereof, pending receipt of such investment instructions.  All such investments, as well as the investments described in the next succeeding paragraph, shall be credited to the fund (and account and subaccount therein) from which the money used to acquire such investments shall have come, and all income and profits on such investments shall be credited to, and all losses thereon shall be charged against, such fund (and account and subaccount therein).  As amounts invested are needed for disbursement from the Debt Service Fund or the Construction Fund, the Trustee shall cause a sufficient amount of the investments credited to that fund to be redeemed or sold and converted into cash to the credit of that fund (and account and subaccount therein).  The Trustee shall not be liable or responsible for any loss resulting from any such investment or reinvestment or redemption or sale as herein authorized; except that the Trustee shall be liable for any loss resulting from its willful or grossly negligent failure, within a reasonable time after receiving the direction from the Company to make any investment or reinvestment in the manner provided for herein at the Company's written direction.  If the Trustee is unable, after reasonable effort and within a reasonable time, to make any such investment or reinvestment, it shall so notify the Company in writing and thereafter the Trustee shall be relieved of all responsibility with respect thereto.  The Trustee may make any and all such investments through its own investment department or that of its affiliates or subsidiaries.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any monies held by the Trustee to pay the principal of, premium, if any, or interest which has previously become payable with respect to the Bonds shall only be invested by the Trustee overnight in United States Government Obligations or other Investment Securities rated "A+" or higher by any Rating Agency then rating the Bonds as directed in writing by the Company.

The Company by its execution of the Loan Agreement covenants to restrict the investment of money in the funds created under this Indenture in such manner and to such extent, if any, as may be necessary, after taking into account reasonable expectations at the time the Bonds are delivered to their original purchaser, so that the Bonds will not constitute arbitrage bonds under Section 148 of the Code and the Regulations, and the Trustee hereby agrees to comply with the Company's written instructions with respect to the investment of money in the funds created under this Indenture so long as such instructions conform to the requirements of the Indenture.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company will not direct the Trustee to make investments under this Indenture that conflict with or exceed the limitations set forth in the Tax Documents.  The Trustee shall have no responsibility with respect to the compliance by the Company or the Issuer with respect to any covenant herein regarding investments made in accordance with this Article, including those covenants regarding the limitations set forth in the Tax Documents, other than to use its best reasonable efforts to comply with instructions from the Company regarding such investments.  Since the investments permitted by this Section have been included at the request of the Company and the making of such investments will be subject to the Company's written direction, the Issuer and the Trustee specifically disclaim and shall not have any obligation to the Company for any loss arising from, or tax consequences of, investments pursuant to the provisions of this Section.  Confirmations are not required from the Trustee for permitted investments included in a monthly statement rendered by the Trustee, and no statement need be rendered by the Trustee for any fund or account if no investment or income accrual activity occurred in such fund or account during such month.

Section 4.2.                            Arbitrage Bond Covenant .
With respect to the authority to invest funds granted in this Indenture, the Issuer hereby covenants with the Bondholders that, subject to the Company's written direction of the investment of funds, it will make no use of the proceeds of the Bonds, or any other funds which may be deemed to be proceeds of the Bonds pursuant to Section 148 of the Code, which would cause the Bonds to be "arbitrage bonds" within the meaning of such Section.

The Trustee shall provide such information as the Company may reasonably request in writing to enable the Company to calculate the amount of earnings on the monies held under this Indenture.

Section 4.3.                            Covenants Regarding Tax Exemption .
The Issuer covenants to refrain from any action which would adversely affect, or to take such action as is reasonable and available and within its control to assure, the treatment of the Bonds as obligations described in Section 103(a) of the Code, the interest on which is not included in the "gross income" of the holder (other than the income of a "substantial user" of the facilities refinanced by the Project or a "related person" within the meaning of Section 147(a) of the Code) for purposes of federal income taxation.

ARTICLE V   
REDEMPTION OF BONDS
Section 5.1.                            Bonds Subject to Redemption .
(a)              Optional Redemption .  The Bonds are subject to optional redemption as set forth in Section 2.2 hereof.
(b)              Mandatory Redemption .  The Bonds are subject to mandatory redemption as set forth in Section 2.2 hereof.
(c)              Special Mandatory Redemption of the Bonds .  The Bonds are subject to Special Mandatory Redemption prior to maturity not later than 180 days after the Company has actual knowledge of the occurrence of a Determination of Taxability at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued interest, if any, to the redemption date.  Any such Special Mandatory Redemption shall be in whole unless the Company delivers to the Trustee an opinion of Bond Counsel that redemption of a portion of the Bonds Outstanding would have the result that interest payable on the Bonds remaining Outstanding after such redemption would not be includable for federal income tax purposes in the gross income of any Owner or Beneficial Owner of a Bond (other than an Owner or Beneficial Owner who is a "substantial user" of the facilities financed or refinanced by the Project or a "related person" within the meaning of Section 147(a) of the Code and the applicable regulations thereunder), and in such event the Bonds or portions thereof (in Authorized Denominations) shall be redeemed at such times and in such amounts as Bond Counsel shall so direct in such opinion.
If the Trustee receives written notice from any Owner stating that (i) the Owner has been notified in writing by the Internal Revenue Service that it proposes to include the interest on any Bond in the gross income of such Owner for the reasons stated in the definition of "Determination of Taxability" set forth herein or any other proceeding has been instituted against such Owner which may lead to a Final Determination, and (ii) such Owner will afford the Company the opportunity to contest the same, either directly or in the name of the Owner, and until a conclusion of any appellate review, if sought, then the Trustee shall promptly give notice thereof to the Company and the Issuer and to the Owners of Bonds then Outstanding.  If the Trustee thereafter receives written notice of a Final Determination, the Trustee shall make demand for prepayment of the unpaid Installment Loan Payments under the Loan Agreement or necessary portions thereof as set forth in such notice of Final Determination from the Company and give notice of the Special Mandatory Redemption of the appropriate amount of Bonds on the earliest practicable date within the required period of 180 days.  In taking any action or making any determination under this Section 5.1(b), the Trustee may rely on an opinion of counsel.

Section 5.2.                            Selection of Bonds for Redemption .
In the event that fewer than all Bonds subject to redemption are to be redeemed, Bonds shall be selected by the Trustee for redemption by lot.  In the case of Bonds of varying Authorized Denominations, each Bond shall be treated as representing that number of Bonds which is obtained by dividing the face amount thereof by the minimum Authorized Denomination applicable to such Bond.  In no event shall there remain outstanding in the name of any Owner, a Bond in an amount less than the minimum Authorized Denomination.

Section 5.3.                            Notice of Redemption .
The Company must deliver written notice by facsimile or first class mail to the Issuer and the Trustee of its intention to prepay the amounts due under the Loan Agreement and its request that the Bonds be called for redemption at least thirty (30) days prior to the proposed redemption date (or such lesser period as is acceptable to the Trustee).  Unless previously delivered to the Trustee and the Issuer, any such notice from the Company relating to Special Mandatory Redemption shall be accompanied by a certificate as to the occurrence of the event or events on which any Special Mandatory Redemption is based.  The Trustee shall cause notice of any redemption of Bonds hereunder to be given to the Registered Owners of all Bonds to be redeemed at the registered addresses appearing in the registration books kept for such purpose pursuant to Article II hereof.  Each such notice shall (i) be given by facsimile or by first class mail at least twenty (20) days prior to the redemption date, (ii) identify the Bonds to be redeemed (specifying the CUSIP numbers, if any, assigned to the Bonds), (iii) specify the redemption date and the redemption price, and (iv) state that on the redemption date the Bonds called for redemption will be payable at the designated corporate trust operations office of the Trustee, that from that date interest will cease to accrue, and that no representation is made as to the accuracy or correctness of the CUSIP numbers printed therein or on the Bonds.  No defect affecting any Bond, whether in the notice of redemption or mailing thereof (including any failure to mail such notice), shall affect the validity of the redemption proceedings for any other Bonds.  The Trustee shall also send a notice of prepayment or redemption by first class mail to the Registered Owner of any Bond who has not sent such Bond in for redemption sixty (60) days after the redemption date.

In addition, the Trustee shall give notice of redemption of Bonds by facsimile or by mail, first class postage prepaid, at least twenty (20) days prior to a redemption date to each registered Securities Depository and to any national information service that disseminates redemption notices.  Any notice sent to registered securities depositories or such national information services shall be sent so that they are received at least two (2) days prior to the general mailing or publication date of such notice.  The Trustee may, but shall not be required to, give such other notice or notices as may be recommended in releases, letters, pronouncements or other writings of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board.  No defect in or delay or failure in giving any recommended notice described in this paragraph shall in any manner affect the notice of redemption described in the preceding paragraph of this Section 5.3 and any notice mailed as provided in the preceding paragraph of this Section 5.3 shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the Registered Owner receives the notice.

With respect to any notice of optional redemption of Bonds, unless upon the giving of such notice such Bonds shall be deemed to have been paid within the meaning of Article X hereof, such notice shall state that such redemption shall be conditional upon the receipt by the Trustee on or prior to the date fixed for such redemption of monies sufficient to pay the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on, such Bonds to be redeemed, and that if such monies shall not have been so received said notice shall be of no force and effect and the Issuer shall not be required to redeem such Bonds.  In the event that such notice of redemption contains such a condition and such monies are not so received, the redemption shall not be made and the Trustee shall within a reasonable time thereafter give notice to all Owners of Outstanding Bonds, in the manner in which the notice of redemption was given, that such monies were not so received.

Section 5.4.                            Effect of Redemption .
If the redemption price of the Bonds has been paid to the Trustee in immediately available funds on or before the redemption date, then interest thereon will cease to accrue, and the Registered Owners will have no rights with respect to such Bonds nor will they be entitled to the benefits of the Indenture except to receive payment of the redemption price thereof and unpaid interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption.

(iv)              The occurrence of an Event of Default under the Loan Agreement.
(b)              The Trustee shall promptly notify the Issuer and the Company in writing of the occurrence of any Event of Default after it receives written notice or has actual knowledge (as it relates to Section 7.1(a)(i) of such occurrence.
(c)              Force Majeure .  The provisions of Section 7.1(a)(iii) hereof and Section 8.1(b)(vi) of the Loan Agreement are subject to the following limitations:  if by reason of acts of God; strikes, lockouts or other industrial disturbances; acts of public enemies; orders of any kind of the Government of the United States or of the Commonwealth or any department, agency, political subdivision, court or official of any of them, or any civil or military authority; insurrections; riots; epidemics; landslides; lightning; earthquakes; volcanoes; fires; hurricanes; tornadoes; storms; blue northers; floods; washouts; droughts; restraint of government and people; civil disturbances; explosions; breakage or accident to machinery; partial or entire failure of utilities; or any cause or event not reasonably within the control of either the Company or the Issuer, the Company is unable in whole or in part to carry out any one or more of its agreements or obligations contained in the Loan Agreement (other than its obligations under Sections 6.4 through 6.6, 6.10, 7.1, 7.2 and 8.3 thereof) or the Issuer is unable in whole or in part to carry out any one or more of its agreements or obligations contained in this Indenture (other than its obligations to pay the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds as herein provided), neither the Company nor the Issuer shall be deemed in default by reason of not carrying out said agreement or agreements or performing said obligation or obligations during the continuance of such inability.  Both the Company and the Issuer shall make reasonable efforts to remedy with all reasonable dispatch the cause or causes preventing them from carrying out their respective agreements; provided, that the settlement of strikes, lockouts and other industrial disturbances shall be entirely within the discretion of the Company, and the Company shall not be required to make settlement of strikes, lockouts and other disturbances by acceding to the demands of the opposing party or parties when such course is in the judgment of the Company unfavorable to the Company.

Promptly following any declaration of acceleration (or promptly after the Trustee has knowledge of an automatic acceleration), the Trustee shall cause to be mailed notice of such acceleration by first class mail to each Owner of a Bond at his last address appearing on the registration books of the Trustee.  Any defect in or failure to give such notice of such acceleration shall not affect the validity of such acceleration.
(b)              If after the principal then due on the Bonds has been declared to be due and payable, and the redemption price then due and all arrears of interest upon the Bonds are caused to be paid by the Issuer, and the Issuer also causes to be performed all other things in respect to which it may have been in default hereunder and causes to be paid by the Company or otherwise the reasonable charges of the Trustee and the Registered Owners, plus reasonable attorney's fees, or any such default is waived as provided in Section 7.13 hereof, then, and in every such case, the Trustee may, or upon the direction in writing of the Registered Owners of a majority in principal amount of the Bonds then Outstanding, shall annul such declaration and its consequences and such annulment shall be binding upon the Trustee, the Issuer and upon all Registered Owners of Bonds issued hereunder.  No such annulment shall extend to or affect any subsequent default or impair any right or remedy consequent thereon.

Section 7.4.                            Discontinuance of Proceedings by Trustee .

Section 7.5.                            Registered Owners May Direct Proceedings .
The Registered Owners of a majority in principal amount of the Bonds then Outstanding hereunder shall have the right to direct the method and place of conducting all remedial proceedings by the Trustee hereunder; provided that the Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow any such direction if the Trustee, upon advice of counsel, determines that the action so directed may not be lawfully taken or if the Trustee in good faith determines that the action so directed might involve the Trustee in personal liability or might unduly prejudice the interests of the Registered Owners not parties to such direction, it being understood that the Trustee has no duty to ascertain whether or not such actions so directed are unduly prejudicial to such Registered Owners.

Section 7.6.                            Limitations on Actions by Registered Owners .

All monies received by the Trustee pursuant to any right given or action taken under the provisions of this Article shall, after payment of costs, expenses, liabilities and advances paid, incurred or made or anticipated by the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any receiver approved by the Trustee, in the collection of such monies and of the expenses, liabilities and advances incurred or made by the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any receiver approved by the Trustee, be deposited in the Debt Service Fund; and all monies in the Debt Service Fund (other than monies held for the payment of a particular Bond) shall be applied, as follows:

(a)              Unless the principal of all of the Bonds shall have become or shall have been declared due and payable, all such monies shall be applied:
First ‑ to the payment to the persons entitled thereto of all interest then due on the Bonds or if the amount available shall not be sufficient for such purpose, then to the payment ratably, to the persons entitled thereto without any discrimination or privilege; and
Second ‑ to the payment to the persons entitled thereto of the unpaid principal of any of the Bonds which shall have become due (other than Bonds matured, or called for redemption for the payment of which monies and/or Government Obligations are held pursuant to this Indenture), in the order of their due dates, with interest on such Bonds from the respective dates upon which they become due and, if the amount available shall not be sufficient to pay in full Bonds due on any particular date, together with such interest, then to the payment ratably, according to the amount of principal due on such date, to the persons entitled thereto without any discrimination or privilege.
(b)              If the principal of all the Bonds shall have become due or shall have been declared due and payable, all such monies shall be applied to the payment of the principal and the interest then due and unpaid upon the Bonds (other than installments of interest, and amounts of principal of Bonds matured or called for redemption, for the payment of which monies and/or Government Obligations are held pursuant to this Indenture) without preference or priority of principal over interest or of interest over principal, or of any installment of interest over any other installment of interest, or of any Bond over any other Bond, ratably, according to the amounts due respectively for principal and interest, to the persons entitled thereto without any discrimination or privilege.
(c)              If the principal of all the Bonds shall have been declared due and payable, and if such declaration shall thereafter have been rescinded and annulled under the provisions of this Article, then, subject to the provisions of paragraph (b) of this Section in the event that the principal of all the Bonds shall later become due or be declared due and payable, the monies shall be applied in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (a) of this Section.
Whenever monies are to be applied pursuant to the provisions of this Section, such monies shall be applied as soon as practicable as the Trustee shall in good faith determine having due regard to the amount of such monies available for application and the likelihood of additional monies becoming available for such application in the future.  Whenever the Trustee shall apply such funds, it shall fix the date (which shall be the date of acceleration of the Bonds or if there shall not have been an acceleration, such date as shall be determined by the Trustee) upon which such application is to be made and upon such date interest on the amounts of principal to be paid on such dates shall cease to accrue.  The Trustee shall give such notice as it may deem appropriate of the deposit with it of any such monies and of the fixing of any such date, and shall not be required to make payment to the holder of any Bond until such Bond shall be presented to the Trustee.

Section 7.11.                            Trustee's Right to Receiver .

Section 8.8.                            Resignation and Removal of Trustee; Appointment of Successor .
(a)              No resignation or removal of the Trustee and no appointment of a successor Trustee pursuant to this Article shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee under Section 8.9 of this Indenture.
(b)              The Trustee may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the other parties to the Financing Documents.  If an instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee shall not have been delivered to the resigning Trustee within thirty (30) days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.
(c)              The Trustee may be removed at any time by the Owners of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Bonds, or so long as no Event of Default or no event which with the passage of time or the giving of notice or both would constitute an Event of Default relating to the Company is then in existence, by the Company, in either case by an instrument in writing delivered to the parties to the Financing Documents not less than fifteen (15) days prior to the intended effective date of the removal.
(d)              If at any time:  (i) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 8.7 of this Indenture or under applicable law and shall fail to resign after written request therefor as a result thereof by any party to a Financing Document or by a Registered Owner who has been a bona fide Owner for at least six (6) months, or (ii) the Trustee shall become incapable of acting or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, then, in any such case, (x) the Company or the Issuer may remove the Trustee, or (y) any Registered Owner who has been a bona fide Owner for at least six (6) months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee.
(e)              If the Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of Trustee for any cause, the Issuer, at the direction of the Company, shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee.  If, within sixty (60) days after such resignation, removal or incapability, or the occurrence of such resignation, removal or incapability, or the occurrence of such vacancy, a successor Trustee shall be appointed by the Owners of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Bonds and notice of acceptance of such appointment is delivered to the parties to the Financing Documents, the successor Trustee so appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment, become the successor Trustee and supersede the successor Trustee appointed by the Issuer.  The Trustee shall assign all its interests hereunder to the successor Trustee.  If no successor Trustee shall have been so appointed by the Issuer or the Registered Owners and accepted appointment in the manner hereinafter provided, any Registered Owner who has been a bona fide Registered Owner for at least six (6) months may, on behalf of himself and all other Owners similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.
(f)              The Issuer, at the expense of the Company, shall give prompt notice of each resignation and each removal of the Trustee and each appointment of a successor Trustee by mailing written notice of such event to the Registered Owners and to the parties to the Financing Documents.  Each notice shall include the name of the successor Trustee and the address of its corporate trust operations office.
Section 8.9.                            Acceptance of Appointment by Successor Trustee .
Every successor Trustee appointed hereunder shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the parties to the Financing Documents, including the retiring Trustee, an instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective and such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee; but, on request of the Issuer or the successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall, upon payment of its charges and expenses, including the charges and expenses of its counsel, by the Company, execute and deliver an instrument prepared by the successor Trustee transferring to such successor Trustee all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring Trustee, and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder.  Upon request of any such successor Trustee, the Issuer shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts.  No successor Trustee shall accept its appointment unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Trustee shall be qualified and eligible under this Article.

Section 8.10.                            Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business .
Any corporation or association into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation or association resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation or association succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided such corporation shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article, to the extent operative, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto.

Section 8.11.                            Fees, Charges and Expenses of Trustee .
Pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.5 and 8.3 of the Loan Agreement, the Trustee shall be entitled to be paid by the Company reasonable compensation for its services rendered hereunder and to reimbursement for its actual documented out‑of‑pocket expenses (including reasonable counsel fees) necessarily incurred in connection therewith.  The Company may, without creating a default hereunder, contest in good faith the necessity for and the reasonableness of any such services and expenses.  The Company, the Issuer and the Bondholders agree that the Trustee shall have a lien for the foregoing compensation, expenses and fees upon the Trust Estate (other than monies held for the payment of particular Bonds whether or not such payment is then due and owing) and, upon an Event of Default hereunder, the Trustee shall have a right of payment prior to payment to the Bondholders on account of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on any Bond as provided in Section 7.10 hereof.

The Issuer shall require the Company, pursuant to the Loan Agreement, to indemnify and hold harmless the Trustee against any liabilities which the Trustee may incur in the exercise and performance of its powers and duties hereunder, under the Loan Agreement and any other agreement referred to herein which are not due to the Trustee's gross negligence or willful misconduct, and for any fees and expenses of the Trustee to the extent funds are not available under this Indenture as provided in the preceding paragraph for the payment thereof.  The rights of the Trustee under this Section shall survive the payment in full of the Bonds and the discharge of this Indenture.  The Trustee acknowledges that the requirement set forth in this paragraph has been satisfied by the Issuer and agrees that in the event the Company fails to perform its obligations under the Loan Agreement relating to such undertaking, the Trustee will make no claim against the Issuer with respect thereto.

When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default as a result of an Act of Bankruptcy of the Company, the expenses and the compensation for services (including the fees and expenses of its agents and counsel) are intended to constitute expenses of administration of the bankruptcy estate under applicable bankruptcy law.

ARTICLE IX   
AMENDMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTS
Section 9.1.                            Amendments and Supplements Without Registered Owners' Consent .
This Indenture may be amended or supplemented from time to time, without the consent of the Registered Owners but only with the consent of the Company by a Supplemental Indenture authorized by a certified resolution of the Issuer filed with the Trustee, for one or more of the following purposes:

(a)              to add additional covenants of the Issuer or to surrender any right or power herein conferred upon the Issuer; or
(b)              to cure any ambiguity or to cure, correct or supplement any defective (whether because of any inconsistency with any other provision hereof or otherwise) provision of this Indenture in such manner as shall not be inconsistent with this Indenture and shall not impair the security hereof or adversely affect the Registered Owners; or
(c)              to provide procedures permitting Registered Owners to utilize an uncertificated system of registration for Bonds or for the issuance of Bonds pursuant to a book entry system with a Securities Depository or other entity; or
(d)              to modify, alter, amend, supplement or restate this Indenture in any and all respects necessary, desirable or appropriate in order to satisfy the requirements of any Rating Agency which may from time to time provide a rating on the Bonds, or in order to obtain or retain such rating on the Bonds as is deemed necessary by the Company; or
(e)              to make any change which, in the judgment of the Trustee, does not adversely affect the rights or security of the Registered Owners.
In determining compliance with this Section, the Trustee may request such certificates and opinions of counsel as it deems necessary and may rely conclusively on such certificates and opinions in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct.

Section 9.2.                            Amendments With Company and Registered Owners' Consent .
(a)              Consent of Majority .  With the written consent of the Company, the parties to this Indenture may enter into Indentures supplemental to this Indenture or amendments to this Indenture modifying, adding to or eliminating any of the provisions hereof but, if such supplement or amendment is not of the character described in Section 9.1, only with the consent of the Registered Owners of not less than a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Bonds, but subject to the limitations of Section 9.2(b).
(b)              Consent of All Bondholders .  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no supplement or amendment to this Indenture shall, without the consent of the Registered Owner of each Outstanding Bond so affected, (i) extend the maturity date of any Bond, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest thereon, or reduce the principal amount thereof, or reduce any premium payable upon the redemption thereof, or extend or reduce the amount of any mandatory redemption requirement, (ii) deprive such Registered Owner of the lien hereof on the Revenues pledged hereunder and on the Trust Estate, (iii) decrease the amounts payable by the Company under Section 6.4 of the Loan Agreement, (iv) reduce the aggregate principal amount of Bonds the Registered Owners of which are required to approve any such supplement or amendment to this Indenture, (v) increase the percentage of the aggregate principal amount of Bonds the Registered Owners of which are required to direct the Trustee to accelerate the maturity of the Bonds, or (vi) provide a privilege or priority of any Bond over any other Bond.
(c)              Effective Date of Amendment .  The Trustee shall establish a record date for purposes of approval of any such amendment or supplement described in subsections (a) and (b) of this Section 9.2, and shall cause notice of such record date and such proposed amendment to be given to the Owners in the same manner as notices of redemption are given by the Trustee.  Such notice shall briefly set forth the nature of the proposed amendment and shall state that copies thereof are on file at the designated office of the Trustee for inspection by all Registered Owners.  If, within sixty (60) days (or such longer period as shall be prescribed by the Company in a written notice to the Trustee and the Issuer) following the mailing of such notice, the Registered Owners of the requisite aggregate principal amount of the Bonds Outstanding at the time of the record date established for such purpose shall have consented to and approved such amendment, no Registered Owner of any Bond shall have any right to object to any of the terms and provisions contained therein, or the operation thereof, or in any manner to question the propriety of the execution thereof, or to enjoin or restrain the parties to such amendment from adopting the same or from taking any action pursuant to the provisions thereof.  Upon receipt of the consent of the Registered Owners of the requisite aggregate principal amount of the Bonds Outstanding, the Issuer and the Trustee may execute such amendment.
The consent of a Registered Owner shall be evidenced by an instrument executed by such Registered Owner, delivered to the Trustee, which instrument shall refer to the proposed amendment described in said notice and shall specifically consent to and approve such amendment.  Any consent given by a Registered Owner as of such record date shall be irrevocable for a period of six (6) months from the date such consent is given, and shall be conclusive and binding upon all future Registered Owners of the same Bond during such period.  Such consent may be revoked at any time after six (6) months from the date such consent was given by such Registered Owner or by a successor in title, by filing written notice thereof with the Issuer, the Company and the Trustee, but such revocation shall not be effective if the Registered Owners of the requisite aggregate principal amount of the Bonds Outstanding have, prior to the attempted revocation, consented to and approved such amendment.

Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, no amendment to this Indenture which affects the rights or obligations of the Trustee shall be effective against the Trustee without its written consent.

Section 9.3.                            Amendments to Loan Agreement .
The Loan Agreement may be amended by written agreement of the Issuer and the Company and with the written consent of the Trustee, provided that no amendment may be made which would adversely affect the rights of some but less than all Outstanding Bonds without the consent of (a) the Registered Owners of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds then Outstanding and (b) the Registered Owners of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds so affected; and no amendment may be made which would (i) decrease the amounts payable under the Loan Agreement as Installment Loan Payments; (ii) change any date of payment or prepayment provisions under the Loan Agreement; or (iii) change the amendment provisions of the Loan Agreement without the consent of all of the Registered Owners of the Bonds adversely affected thereby, and provided further that the Loan Agreement may be amended by written agreement of the Issuer and the Company and with the written consent of the Trustee, but not the Owners, in order to make conforming changes with respect to amendments made to this Indenture pursuant to Section 9.1(d) or (e).

Section 9.4.                            Right to Payment .

ARTICLE X   
DEFEASANCE
Section 10.1.                            Defeasance .
If the Issuer or Company shall pay or cause to be paid, or there shall be otherwise paid or provision for payment made to or for the Owners from time to time of the Bonds, the principal of, premium, if any, and interest due or to become due thereon on the dates and in the manner stipulated therein, and shall pay or cause to be paid to the Trustee all sums of money due or to become due according to the provisions hereof and if all other liabilities of the Company under the Loan Agreement shall have been satisfied, then these presents and the estate and rights hereby granted shall cease, determine and be void, whereupon the lien of this Indenture shall be canceled and discharged (except with respect to monies held by the Trustee hereunder for the payment of Bonds as aforesaid, and the rights and immunities of the Issuer and the Trustee hereunder), and upon written request of the Issuer or the Company, the Trustee shall execute and deliver to the Issuer such instruments in writing as shall be required by the Issuer or the Company to cancel and discharge the lien hereof and thereof, and reconvey, release, assign and deliver unto the Issuer and the Company, respectively, the estate, right, title and interest in and to any and all property conveyed, assigned or pledged to the Trustee or otherwise subject to the lien of this Indenture.

Any Bond shall be deemed to be paid within the meaning of this Section 10.1 when payment of the principal of and premium, if any, on such Bond, plus interest thereon to the due date thereof (whether such due date be by reason of maturity or upon redemption prior to maturity as provided in this Indenture or otherwise), either (i) shall have been made or caused to be made in accordance with the terms thereof, or (ii) shall have been provided by irrevocably depositing with the Trustee, in trust for the benefit of and subject to a security interest in favor of the owner of such Bond, and irrevocably setting aside exclusively for such payment on such due date, (1) monies sufficient to make such payment, or (2) Government Obligations (provided that in the opinion of Bond Counsel delivered to the Trustee and the Issuer such deposit of Government Obligations will not adversely affect the exclusion from gross income for federal income tax purposes of interest on the Bonds or cause any of the Bonds to be classified as "arbitrage bonds" within the meaning of Section 148 of the Code) maturing as to principal and interest in such amounts and on such dates as will (together with any monies held under clause (1)), in the written opinion to the Trustee from a firm of certified public accountants not unsatisfactory to the Trustee, provide sufficient monies without reinvestment to make such payment, and if all necessary and proper fees, compensation and expenses of the Trustee pertaining to the Bonds with respect to which such deposit is made and all other liabilities of the Company under the Loan Agreement shall have been paid or the payment thereof provided for to the satisfaction of the Trustee.  At such time as a Bond shall be deemed to be paid hereunder, as aforesaid, it shall no longer be secured by or entitled to the benefits of this Indenture, except for the purposes set forth in Sections 2.7 and 2.8 hereof and any such payment from such monies or Government Obligations on the date or dates specified at the time of such deposit.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of Bonds which are to be redeemed prior to the maturity date, no deposit under clause (ii) of the immediately preceding paragraph shall be deemed a payment of such Bonds as aforesaid until proper notice of redemption of such Bonds shall have been previously given in accordance with Article V hereof, or until the Company, on behalf of the Issuer, shall have given the Trustee, in form satisfactory to the Trustee, irrevocable written instructions:

(a)              stating the redemption date when the principal (and premium, if any) of each such Bond is to be paid (which may be any redemption date permitted by this Indenture); and
(b)              to call for redemption pursuant to this Indenture any Bonds to be redeemed prior to the maturity date pursuant to (a) hereof.
In the case of Bonds which are not to be redeemed within the next succeeding sixty (60) days, the Trustee shall mail, as soon as practicable, in the manner prescribed by Article V hereof, a notice to the Owners of such Bonds that the deposit required by (ii) above has been made with the Trustee and that said Bonds are deemed to have been paid in accordance with this Section 10.1 and stating the redemption or maturity date upon which monies are to be available for the payment of the redemption price on or principal of said Bonds.

Any monies so deposited with the Trustee as provided in this Section 10.1 may at the written direction of the Company also be invested and reinvested in Government Obligations, maturing in the written opinion of a firm of certified public accountants delivered and not unsatisfactory to the Trustee in the amounts and on the dates as hereinbefore set forth, and all income from all Government Obligations in the hands of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 10.1 which, in the written opinion to the Trustee from a firm of certified public accountants not unsatisfactory to the Trustee, is not required for the payment of the Bonds and interest and premium, if any, thereon with respect to which such monies are deposited, shall be deposited in the Debt Service Fund as and when collected for use and application as are other monies deposited in that fund.

Anything in Article IX hereof to the contrary notwithstanding, if monies or Government Obligations have been deposited or set aside with the Trustee pursuant to this Section 10.1 for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds and the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on such Bonds shall not have in fact been actually paid in full, no amendment to the provisions of this Section 10.1 shall be made without the consent of the Owner of each of the Bonds affected thereby.

If an agreement with a Securities Depository as described in Section 2.13 hereof is then in effect and such agreement provides for the Company to obtain a CUSIP number in the event of a partial refunding or redemption of the Bonds and the authentication of a new Bond for the refunded or redeemed Bonds, then the Company shall comply with the provisions of such agreement.

Section 10.2.                            Effect of Defeasance .
Notwithstanding anything stated to the contrary in this Article, no defeasance hereunder shall relieve the Trustee of any duty with respect to, or discharge or terminate the provisions hereof with respect to, the payment, transfer, purchase, exchange, registration or redemption of Bonds.

Exhibit A
(FORM OF BOND)
[The following legend shall appear so long as the Book Entry System described in Section 2.13 of the Indenture has not been discontinued.]
This Bond is subject to a Book Entry System of Registration under which, except as specifically provided otherwise in the Indenture (hereinafter defined), Cede & Co., as nominee of The Depository Trust Company, a New York corporation ("DTC"), will be the Registered Owner and will hold this Bond on behalf of the Beneficial Owner hereof.  By acceptance of a confirmation of purchase, delivery or transfer, the Beneficial Owner of this Bond shall be deemed to have agreed to such arrangement.  Cede & Co., as Registered Owner of this Bond, shall be treated as the Owner of this Bond for all purposes.

YORK COUNTY INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY (the "Issuer"), a public instrumentality of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and a body corporate and politic organized and existing under the Pennsylvania Economic Development Financing Law, as amended (the "Act"), for value received, hereby  promises to pay, but solely from the sources hereinafter set forth, to the Registered Owner named above or registered assigns, on the Maturity Date specified above (unless this Bond shall have been previously called for redemption in whole or in part and payment of the redemption price shall have been duly made or provided for) the Principal Amount shown above upon surrender of this Bond at the designated corporate trust office of the Trustee (hereinafter defined) and to pay interest thereon, but solely from such sources, at the Interest Rate per annum shown above on June 1 and December 1 of each year, commencing December 1, 2015 (each an "Interest Payment Date").  This Bond shall bear interest from the date of authentication if authenticated on an Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, otherwise from the last preceding Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for or from the Dated Date if no interest hereon has been paid.  The principal or redemption price of this Bond (or of a portion of this Bond in the case of a partial redemption) is payable to the Registered Owner hereof at the corporate trust office of Manufacturers and Traders Trust Company, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, or the designated office of its successor as trustee (the "Trustee").  Interest shall be paid to the Registered Owner hereof whose name appears on the registration books kept by the Trustee as of the Regular Record Date by check drawn on the Trustee and mailed on the applicable interest payment date to such Registered Owner, or at the option of any Registered Owner, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such wire transfer address of a bank in the United States as such Registered Owner shall specify in writing to the Trustee no later than the Record Date for such payment.  The Regular Record Date for any Interest Payment Date shall be the close of business on the fifteenth day of the month immediately preceding the Interest Payment Date.  Any interest which is not timely paid or duly provided for shall cease to be payable to the Holder as of the Regular Record Date, and shall be payable to the Holder in whose name this Bond is registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date to be fixed by the Trustee for the payment of such overdue interest.  Notice of the Special Record Date shall be mailed to Holders not less than ten (10) days prior thereto.

If Bonds subject to mandatory redemption as set forth above are selected for optional redemption at any time, the principal amount of such Bonds redeemed pursuant to such optional redemption shall be credited against the mandatory redemption requirements for the Bonds in such manner as the Company shall determine.

Special Mandatory Redemption .  The Bonds are subject to Special Mandatory Redemption prior to maturity not later than one hundred eighty (180) days after the Company has actual knowledge of the occurrence of a Determination of Taxability, as defined in the Indenture, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued interest, if any, to the redemption date.  Any such Special Mandatory Redemption shall be in whole unless the Company delivers to the Trustee an opinion of Bond Counsel that redemption of a portion of the Bonds Outstanding would have the result that interest payable on the Bonds remaining Outstanding after such redemption would not be includable for federal income tax purposes in the gross income of any Owner or Beneficial Owner of a Bond (other than an owner or Beneficial Owner who is a "substantial user" of the facilities refinanced by the Project or a "related person" within the meaning of Section 147(a) of the Code and the applicable regulations thereunder), and in such event the Bonds or portions thereof (in Authorized Denominations) shall be redeemed at such times and in such amounts as Bond Counsel shall so direct in such opinion.

If the Trustee receives written notice from any Owner stating that (i) the Owner has been notified in writing by the Internal Revenue Service that it proposes to include the interest on any Bond in the gross income of such Owner for the reasons stated in the definition of "Determination of Taxability" set forth in the Indenture or any other proceeding has been instituted against such Owner which may lead to a Final Determination, and (ii) such Owner will afford the Company the opportunity to contest the same, either directly or in the name of the Owner, and until a conclusion of any appellate review, if sought, then the Trustee shall promptly give notice thereof to the Company and the Issuer and to the Owners of Bonds then Outstanding.  If the Trustee thereafter receives written notice of a Final Determination, the Trustee shall make demand for prepayment of the unpaid Installment Loan Payments under the Loan Agreement or necessary portions thereof from the Company and give notice of the Special Mandatory Redemption of the appropriate amount of Bonds on the earliest practicable date within the required period of 180 days.  In taking any such action or making any such determination, the Trustee may rely on an opinion of counsel.

Notice of Redemption .  The Trustee shall cause notice of any redemption of Bonds hereunder to be given to the Registered Owners of all Bonds to be redeemed at the registered addresses appearing in the registration books kept for such purpose pursuant to the Indenture.  Each such notice shall (i) be given by facsimile or by first class mail at least twenty (20) days prior to the redemption date, (ii) identify the Bonds to be redeemed (specifying the CUSIP numbers, if any, assigned to the Bonds), (iii) specify the redemption date and the redemption price, and (iv) state that on the redemption date the Bonds called for redemption will be payable at the designated corporate trust operations office of the Trustee, that from that date interest will cease to accrue, and that no representation is made as to the accuracy or correctness of the CUSIP numbers printed therein or on the Bonds.  No defect affecting any Bond, whether in the notice of redemption or mailing thereof (including any failure to mail such notice), shall affect the validity of the redemption proceedings for any other Bonds.  The Trustee shall also send a notice of prepayment or redemption by first class mail to the Registered Owner of any Bond who has not sent such Bond in for redemption sixty (60) days after the redemption date.

With respect to any notice of optional redemption of Bonds, unless upon the giving of such notice such Bonds shall be deemed to have been paid within the meaning of Article X of the Indenture, such notice shall state that such redemption shall be conditional upon the receipt by the Trustee on or prior to the date fixed for such redemption of monies sufficient to pay the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on, such Bonds to be redeemed, and that if such monies shall not have been so received said notice shall be of no force and effect and the Issuer shall not be required to redeem such Bonds.  In the event that such notice of redemption contains such a condition and such monies are not so received, the redemption shall not be made and the Trustee shall within a reasonable time thereafter give notice to all Owners of Outstanding Bonds, in the manner in which the notice of redemption was given, that such monies were not so received.

Purchase in Lieu of Redemption .  In the manner and subject to the conditions provided in the Indenture, the Company may elect to purchase any Bonds that have been called for redemption hereof on the redemption date by giving the Trustee and the Issuer written notice at least two (2) Business Days prior to the date the Bonds are to be redeemed.  The principal amount of Bonds to be redeemed on the applicable redemption date shall be reduced by the amount of Bonds so purchased.  Prior to the date that any such purchased Bonds are sold by the Company, the Company shall receive a Favorable Opinion of Bond Counsel.

DEFAULT
In case an Event of Default as defined in the Indenture shall have occurred, the principal of all Bonds then Outstanding under the Indenture may become due and payable prior to their scheduled maturity date.
GENERAL PROVISIONS
The Bonds are and will be equally and ratably secured, to the extent provided in the Indenture, by the Installment Loan Payments to be received by the Trustee from the Company under the Loan Agreement and other amounts payable by the Company under the Loan Agreement.  The Issuer has pledged and assigned to the Trustee as security for the payment of the Bonds all other rights, title and interest of the Issuer in (a) the Loan Agreement (except for the indemnification rights, consent rights and expense reimbursement rights contained therein), and (b) all amounts on deposit from time to time in the various funds created in, and subject to the conditions set forth, in the Indenture.
No Registered Owner shall have any right to pursue any remedy under the Indenture unless (a) the Trustee shall have been given written notice of an Event of Default; (b) the Registered Owners of at least 25% in principal amount of the Bonds then Outstanding shall have requested the Trustee, in writing, to exercise the powers granted in the Indenture or to pursue such remedy in its or their name or names; (c) the Trustee shall have been offered indemnity satisfactory to it against costs, expenses and liabilities; and (d) the Trustee shall have failed to comply with such request within a reasonable time.
The Bonds are being issued by means of a book entry system, with actual bond certificates evidencing ownership of the Bonds immobilized at The Depository Trust Company, New York, New York (the "Securities Depository"), or its successor as Securities Depository.  Transfers of beneficial ownership of the Bonds shall be effected on the records of the Securities Depository and its participants pursuant to the rules and procedures established by the Securities Depository.  So long as the Bonds are issued in book‑entry form, actual bond certificates are not available for distribution to the beneficial owners and the principal, redemption premium (if any), purchase price and interest on the Bonds are payable to Cede & Co., as nominee of the Securities Depository.  Transfer of principal, redemption premium (if any) and interest payments to participants of the Securities Depository is the responsibility of the Securities Depository; transfers of principal, redemption premium (if any) and interest to beneficial owners of the Bonds by participants of the Securities Depository will be the responsibility of such participants and other nominees of beneficial owners.  The Issuer and the Trustee are not responsible or liable for maintaining, supervising or reviewing the records maintained by the Securities Depository, its participants or persons acting through such participants.  If the Bonds are no longer registered to a Securities Depository or its nominee:  (a) this Bond may be registered as transferred only upon the registration books kept for that purpose at the designated corporate trust office of the Trustee by the registered owner hereof in person, or by his or her attorney duly authorized in writing, upon presentation and surrender to the Trustee of this Bond duly endorsed for registration of transfer or accompanied by an assignment duly executed by the registered owner or his or her attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon a new registered certificate, in the same aggregate principal amount and of the same maturity shall be issued to the transferee in exchange therefor; and (b) this Bond may be exchanged by the registered owner hereof or his or her duly authorized attorney upon presentation at the designated corporate trust office of the Trustee for an equal aggregate principal amount of Bonds of the same maturity and in any Authorized Denomination in the manner, subject to the conditions and upon payment of charges, if any, provided in the Indenture.
Except in the case of a partial redemption and in connection with the remarketing of Bonds purchased by the Company, the Trustee shall not be obligated to effect any such exchange or transfer of Bonds during the fifteen (15) days immediately preceding the date of mailing of any notice of redemption or at any time following the mailing of any such notice in the case of Bonds selected for such redemption.
The Indenture and the Loan Agreement may be modified or amended only with the consent, with certain exceptions as described in the Indenture, of the Registered Owners of not less than a majority, or in certain instances 100%, in aggregate principal amount of all Bonds Outstanding under the Indenture.
Reference is hereby made to the Indenture and the Loan Agreement, copies of which are on file with the Trustee, for the provisions, among others, with respect to the nature and extent of the rights, duties and obligations of the Issuer, the Company, the Trustee and the Registered Owners of the Bonds.  The Registered Owner of this Bond, by the acceptance hereof, is deemed to have agreed and consented to the terms and provisions of the Indenture and the Loan Agreement.
The Issuer and the Trustee shall be entitled to treat and consider the Person in whose name this Bond is registered in the registration books the absolute owner of this Bond for the purpose of payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest with respect to this Bond, for the purpose of giving notices of redemption and other matters with respect to this Bond, for the purpose of registering transfers with respect to this Bond, and for all other purposes whatsoever.
No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of or interest on this Bond, or for any claim based hereon, against any member, officer or employee, past, present or future, of the Issuer or of any successor body, as such, either directly or through the Issuer or through any such successor body, under any constitutional provision, statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding or otherwise, and all such liability of such members, officers or employees is released as a condition of and as consideration for the execution and issuance of this Bond.

Whenever the due date for payment of interest on or principal of this Bond shall be a Saturday, Sunday or a day on which banking institutions in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania are authorized by law to close (a "Holiday"), then the payment of such interest or principal need not be made on such date, but may be made on the succeeding day which is not a Holiday, with the same force and effect as if made on the due date for payment of principal or interest.

This Bond is a limited obligation of the Issuer and is payable solely from amounts payable by the Company under the Loan Agreement and any funds held under the Indenture and available for such payment.  Neither the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, nor any political subdivision thereof is or shall be obligated to pay the principal of or premium, if any, or interest on this Bond, and this Bond shall not be deemed an obligation of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, or any political subdivision thereof.  Neither the faith and credit nor the taxing power of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, or any political subdivision thereof is pledged to the payment of the principal of or premium, if any, or the interest on this Bond.  The Issuer has no taxing power.

This Bond shall not be entitled to any right or benefit under the Indenture, or be valid or become obligatory for any purpose, until this Bond shall have been authenticated by execution by the Trustee, acting as authenticating agent, of the certificate of authentication inscribed hereon.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the York County Industrial Development Authority has caused this Bond to be executed in its name by the manual or facsimile signature of its Chair as of the Dated Date set forth above.
